Chapter 554

Catelyn's hands shivered as she desperately looked for the ring from her bag, her tears blurring

her vision. She eventually found the ring that Cedrick had proposed to her with.

She stretched out her right hand and placed the ring on her ring finger.

She was so rushed, however, that the ring got stuck on her finger joint. Her eyes reddened as

she forced it in, and a layer of skin on her ring finger was scraped open, yet she felt nothing.

She raised her hand.

"Are you seeing this, Cedrick Mason? I put the ring on! I want a traditional wedding, a white

wedding gown and all! How could you break your promise?"

Nothing but the wind responded to her.

She looked around frantically, hoping that he would show up in front of her anytime and told her

that he heard everything she said.

What she got in response was the sound of the engine shutting off.

Turning around, she instantly spotted their pursuers finally arriving, and one of them got out of the car.

It was the man whom Cedrick had stabbed with the dagger. He smirked deviously as he shot her a glare.

As he approached her, Catelyn took a final heave and collapsed.

Before she passed out, she could faintly hear the men discussing what they wanted to do to her.

The world fell into total darkness as Catelyn lay silently, having nightmares after nightmares.

She dreamt that Cedrick flew off the cliff along with the car and was burned into ashes, just to save her.

The next sequence was of her sons asking where their father was, while she, quivering, could not answer.

She then heard someone calling her name from behind, and when she turned, she saw the bloodied, badly injured

Cedrick limping toward her.

His figure was translucent, floating mid-air like a spirit that had crawled out from hell.

"Catelyn Clark, why didn’t you agree to my proposal?

"You were the one those men were after. I died because of you!"

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten into that car!"

As the words rang in her ears, she shook her head aggressively, trying to explain herself.

Still, Cedrick refused to listen to her, his ghostly figure flying in front of her as his outstretched hands gripped her

throat and squeezed. His eyes were horrifyingly bloodshot. "Come to hell with me, you heartless woman!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry!"

Catelyn woke up from the nightmares with a shriek.

The first thing she noticed was the scent of disinfectant, and she then realized she was lying on

a bed with a white bedsheet.

Her right leg was burning with pain, so much so that the slightest movement would make her

feel like her leg was breaking in half.

Her body was covered in countless wounds and scrapes.

"Miss, you're awake!" rang the voice of a nurse, who was taking her temperature.

"The doctor came by earlier and said that you're still too weak, so you should..."

Before the nurse could finish, Catelyn grabbed onto her collar and asked breathlessly, "Who sent

me here? Was it Cedrick Mason? He's alive, right?"

The nurse's uniform was slipping as Catelyn grabbed onto it, so she quickly grabbed her hand

and stopped her. "I'm not sure who sent you here! Please calm down."

"Was a young man sent in with me, then? He's a handsome man, and he should be injured as

well..." Catelyn asked again unblinkingly as if afraid that she might miss what the nurse said

next.

The nurse looked at her and asked, "Who's he to you? II "My...fiance," Catelyn answered after a

brief pause.
